Travel dates and grants

So we did not receive a date today as we had hoped, but that is ok. God's timing is perfect and we will wait upon Him!!! So we just continue on being ready for whatever is heading our way :) I'm not sure if dates are only given once a week or just whenever so I'm not even sure of when to be expecting one!! lol I just keep praying for God to prepare our hearts to be parents to these little ones and that He would prepare those little guys hearts for us! What a change is in store for them!

While we are waiting for a date, we continue to save, roll change, and do whatever else we can do to raise the remaining funds needed. At this point we still need just over $9000 to be fully funded. We are ever so thankful for Orphan's Ransom for the grant they awarded us!! What an awesome blessing that is! I pray that this new ministry would just blossom and be able to help many more families that are following God's call to adopt.

So that is our update for now :) Thank you all so much for your prayers and donations!! A special thank you goes to Christina and her family!! You know who you are! What a blessing she has been to us throughout this process. Christina, I LOVE the cards you made the boys and cannot wait to share those with them!! Praying for you and your family!!

Please continue to watch the choo choo to see how close we are to being fully funded. And please keep praying!! We will let you all know as soon as we find out when we are traveling!!! We cannot wait to meet and hold our little men!

About us

Joel and I (Rachel) have been married 16 years. During this time we have had ups and downs but have stuck it out and in the process gave our lives to the Lord. We try to live every day for Him, doing His will for us and not our own. He chose not to bless us with children until now. He brought us to our two sons by way of some friends who adopted two little blessings of their own :) As we heard about the children listed with Reece's Rainbow, our hearts broke and we realized that this was what the Lord has intended for our lives. We knew adoption was in His plan for us but weren't clear on which direction to take, until we found RR.

And we now have our two blessings home with us!! Thank you to all who helped get us here. We are now enjoying the blessing of parenthood to two sweet little boys and we wouldn't change a thing!
